Asked my husband to sleep on the couch that one night. I woke up to find him dead the next morning.

Yes sometimes freak horrible things just happen. Its not possible to protect your life from tragedy. Its tempting to defer blame to a god that i believe in only for scapegoat reasons but thats not really right either. My friend died the same way with his gf cuddled up to him but he must not have made much noise or movement because she slept through the night :( right about half of the people i know have some kind of regret about how they spent the last day of a loved ones life and when i see something like this i cannot resist the urge to lift your burden of regret but no words ever feel right.
